Using the Project Assignment Pane

The Project Assignment pane displays your project and workstep assignments. You can use this pane to get an overview of your current and future work. You can also perform basic project management tasks, such as updating a project's status or entering time.

Note: The My Assignments pane also lists the projects and worksteps assigned to you. However, it only shows items that are ready for your reaction immediately. Items in the Project Assignment pane include future work as well.

Before you can use the Project Assignment pane, you must add it to your dashboard. See Adding, Moving, or Removing Panes for information on adding panes.
